Cydney Benes: The Time Saver

Cydney Benes of Covetrus® is determined to make the lives of her equine trainer clients a little less stressful each day.

Cydney Benes started riding horses at a very young age. In college, she earned a scholarship to ride on TCU’s equestrian team. “I’ve been in the equine industry my whole life,” she said. “I was able to turn my passion into a career. I know how to relate to vets and trainers and what they need.”

When talking with Benes about her day-to-day work as manager of the Covetrus Trainer Concierge Program, an image of a command center comes to mind. Whether by phone, text, or email, Benes is in constant communication with equine trainers nationwide. While they are on the go, whether traveling to shows or giving lessons, horse trainers have anywhere from 10 to 100 horses to take care of in a day. Benes is working to make their hectic schedule a little bit more manageable through the concierge program.

“The program is designed to reduce their stress load and give them back time,” she said.
